Place the first 4 ingredients in the pan. Scatter the flours on top so that they float. Make a well and place the yeast in the well.
We cook on the whole wheat setting and use the light crust colour. (I think our machine is quite hot)

I used whole wheat flour. My oldest daughter loves them. The youngest thinks they are wierd and won't try them... yet...she is 3, thats what 3 year olds do . Hopefully she will come around soon. They are a nice addition to our meal times!

I just borrowed an amazing Bread Machine Recipe book from my Mom and think I'll go and buy it now. I've made a multi-grain bread that turned out really nice - our favorite one so far. And I just made bagels today! DH & I haven't had a real bagel in SO long. They were delicious.

The cookbook is called Easy Bread Machine Recipes by Rob Wanless and most of their recipes include the measurements for 1, 1 1/2 & 2lb machines. I also read that some of the breads can be made with fruit juice.

Topping (I skipped this and it was still good)
1 egg, beaten with 2tsp water & a pinch of salt
poppy seeds, sesame seeds, or pretzel salt (optional)

1. Load the brad pan of the bread machine with the ingredients, except the toppin. Select the dough cycle & start machine.

2. When the dough is done, either let the dough rest in a greased bowl for 10min or keep it in the refrigerator to chill for a hal-hour. It will be even easier to use.

3. Divide the dough into 12-15 portions. Put a little flour on your hands; then flatten and stretch each portion on a lightly floured surface. Stick your finger in the middle of each and stretch it into a circle with a 2" hole in the middle, turning the dough so the inside of the circle is on the outside.

4. Place the bagels on waxed paper sprinkled with cornmeal. Spray water on top, and let them rest in a warm place for 30min.

5. Bring 3quarts of water to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, making sure the water is still boiling when you place the bagels into it. Cook 3-4 bagels at a time for 1min on each side. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain.

6. Place on a baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal; brush them with the egg and water topping mixture. Sprinkle them with poppy or sesame seeds, or leave them plain if you prefer.

7. Bake in a 475F (245C) oven for 20 min, or until crusts is golden brown and crisp.

I made them with whole wheat flour & skipped the topping (and cornmeal since I didn't have any) My DH is asking when I'm making them again!

Susan, I finally made your 1.5 lb bread recipe the other day, and it was DELICIOUS! I absolutely loved the taste of this bread. My machine is designed to make 2 lb loaves, so the bread didn't look the best (it had an outside crust that rose about a half inch higher than the sunken loaf - wierd! But the bread was SO GOOD, I would like to adapt the recipe for a 2 lb loaf. I realise you can't just add 25% of everything and expect it to turn out the same. Does anybody know how to go about this? I was thinking of just contacting Fleishman's to ask.

I made this recipe for buns and it turned out great. Would be great for Hamburger buns (we used them for sloppy joes) I didn't bother with the topping since we are dealing with an egg sensativity and sesame allergies but they were still good. I also used a mix of whole wheat & white flour.

1. Load the bread pan with all ingredients except the topping. Select the dough cycle and start the machine.
2. When the beeper sounds, remove the dough to a bowl; cover it with plastic wrap and rest in fridge until needed; or empty the dough onto a floured surface and let it rise for 5 - 10min
3. Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. Flatten each ball to about 1/2 inch thick with the palm of your hand, stretching it from the middle to the edges. Put the flattened balls on a cookie sheet that is greased or has cornmeal sprinkled on it. Leave space between the circles for the dough to expand as it rises,
4. Sprinkle water on top. Let the dough rise in a warm place until nearly doubled (45min usually).
5. Brush the rolls with the beaten egg & sprinkle with poppy seeds or sesame seeds if desidred. Bake at 350F oven for 20min or until golden brown. Let the rolls cool before slicing.

Here are three pretty simple recipes that came with my bread maching that we used to use all the time (until we found some safe store-bought breads). Our machine is a Black & Decker B2005 unit that can make 1.5 lb or 2 lb loaves. They all originally called for powdered milk but I just ignored that because of our allergies so haven't included it here.
